If Spain can get support from across the EU. And Brazil the same from BRICS then we could see change.

Best not to hold your breath though...

BRICS is just an acronym, it is void of any meaningful significance other than that.

Edit: "oh but it's an actual organization" yeah with still very little significance between pretending it's anything but a convenient proxy for the bigger members

I think your understanding of BRICS might be slightly outdated, did you read about the last time in the late 90s or something? It's beyond just an acronym today, with institutions actively involved, new initiatives and more.
